Finally installed a bov in the turbo coupe!
I've had a blow off valve from forced 4 for a while now along with an inter-cooler that I had polished. It took some doing to get this in as I had to relocate the brake computer, map sensor, and the vam had to go forward about 2"... Pretty nice upgrade - no hesitation between shifts and it's easier on the turbo when you let off quickly. I also bumped the boost up to 17psi.

Mine makes me waste gas. Love the sound of it.

I have the Forced 4 CAI kit with BOV return for my car. Of course, it is still sitting in the hatch awaiting install with everything else

Thanks! Now I just gotta polish everything else, but the upkeep is a pain on a DD...
Actually, there's less sound with this BOV because it vents the pressure back to the front of the turbo. (Which also helps keep it spooled up.) Before, every time I let off the throttle, you could hear the turbo getting forced to stop... Kinda hard on the bearings, etc. And yet another reason to move to Alabama - there is so much work to be done lol! C'mon Lee!!!

That is better than having it stuck closed.
